Book a cellar discovery survey in Alwoodley

What the visit records (Alwoodley stock)

Bring a torch; we bring a moisture meter and a notebook, not a spray gun.

• Housing type — 1930s Alwoodley Park / Primley Park semi, 1950s–60s house on The Fairway / the Mounts / the Buckstones / the Meadows, Sandmoor or Alwoodley Lane detached, or a 1970s golf-course street that may have no cellar.
• Access — internal stair, coal chute, side door. Whether a membrane roll and a sump body will actually go down that opening.
• Party wall — who lives next door on The Lane / The Drive / Primley Park; whether the Act is likely to apply before anyone cuts a channel.
• Water story — film after rain, one flood, constant seepage, or only a smell. Golf-course-side King Lane plots get asked about wet ground and Alwoodley Beck; we do not ask Aire-floodplain questions that belong in another town.
• Invert and outfall — existing combined drain at the rear, whether a pump is required, whether any run would threaten The Avenue / King Lane canopies.
• Sump location — the one dry corner you still use; sleeping rooms above; future shower if conversion is even a maybe.
• Previous coats — slurry, bitumen, none. Cellar tanking vs Type C.
• Leeds Building Control — enough construction notes to support a notice later. Alwoodley is Leeds City Council, not Bradford.

You leave with a written record of this cellar, not a county template. A price, if the job is real Type C, follows that record. Cost variables.

If the room is a dry cupboard, or the house has no cellar, the survey says that. We would rather a short honest visit than a specification looking for a room.

Practicalities for this cell

• Parking — on the drive where there is one. King Lane and The Avenue are residential; we do not assume a tanker bay.
• Time — enough to get into the cellar, not a five-minute damp “survey”.
• Neighbour — if it is a semi, you may want them in the loop before works, not before this first visit.
• No public office — we come to the house. There is no walk-in unit on Harrogate Road.

After the survey

If Type C is justified: specification, cost range with the variables named, Leeds notice path, party-wall flag. If it is not: a short note, not a hard sell. If the cellar is in flood now: first response vs full waterproofing.

Conversion talk stays secondary. After the cellar is dry.
